Whatever you do
I'll do it too
Show me everything
And tell me how
You know me something
And yet nothing to me
I can see there is too much to learn
It's all so close
And yet so far
I see myself
As people see me
But I just know there's something bigger out there

I want to know, can you show me
I want to know about the strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar
About the strangers like me

Every gesture
Every move that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have this growing need to be beside her
There are some emotions that I never knew
Some for the world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, above the clouds
I see before me a new horizon

I want to know, can you show me?
I want to know about the strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something is familiar
About the strangers like me

Come with me now
To see my world
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams
Can you feel the things I feel right now with you
Take my hand
There's a world I need to know

I want to know, can you show me?
I want to know about the strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something is familiar
About the strangers like me

I want to know
